FAQ

Bhutto (2010) is a frenetically overly edited documentary. The title
suggests a study of the woman but it is rather a broad and omissive
overview of the political history of Pankistan.

The documentary begins with a sound bite from one of the most important
and controversial interviews with Benazir Bhutto conducted by David
Frost on the 2nd of November 2007. This interview is never referenced
again possibly because it is too revelatory and against the
establishment point of view.

The omissive nature of the documentary mainly concerns US activity in
Pakistan and Afganistan. Outright misinformation concerns Bin Laden and
what is known as al-Qaeda.

The best and most moving moments of the documentary are the interviews
with the Benazir Bhutto's daughters and husband.

It is of course true that Benazir Bhutto was a member of the elite
establishment, in much the same way as John F. Kennedy but that
background of privilege should not take away from their efforts towards
peace and basic human rights. The result of their courageous struggle
for peace and a better world resulted in the same fate.

Pervez Musharraf living in elite comfort in the UK should be seen for
what it is, state protection of a criminal.
